1. Inserting the Buds Correctly into Your Ears.

Make sure the right bud goes to the right ear and the left to the left ear

Wrap the cord over the top and down the back of the ear. They can also be worn hanging straight down

Use the adjustment tube to secure the cables: this can be either behind or in front of your head

To insert the earbuds, pull the ear upward and outward to straighten out the ear canal, hold the them and take them behind your ears, pull the loop to a considerable length, and then wear them.

The quality of frequency response and sound isolation depends on how well the sleeves seal.

Check the tightness of the seal between the buds and your ears or use a different sleeve if you are not satisfied with the volume and quality of the sound output.

The good thing is that earbuds come with a selection of sleeve options.

2. Keeping the Earbuds Clean

Clean them regularly to make them sound better and look clean. The sealed design in in-ear headphones increases the heat in the ear canal leading to quicker and more earwax and oil accumulation compared to over-ear earbuds.

Accumulated wax and oils can block these earphones and make the sound emission poor. Also, earphones are generally known to carry various forms of bacteria and fungi, so cleaning them makes a lot of sense.

Here is how to clean them:

Use a gentle cleaner. Usually, a mix of dish-washing detergent and water will work perfectly well

Brush the metal parts with a dry toothbrush if it contains a lot of dust or dirt

Clean with a gentle cloth with a small amount of the soap mixture

3. Adjust Volume Settings on Your Device

Most devices nowadays come preset with volume output limitations. The preset is designed to prevent ear damage. You can adjust the volume if it is not loud enough.

Here is how you can improve sound quality on an Apple device:

Go to Settings, then to music

Scroll down to the bottom and select playback

Select volume limit and increase the device audio

Here is how to make headphones sounds better on Android:

Go to and select settings. Android has multiple ways to access settings

Find the application in your drawer

Or swipe notification panel down from the top and tap the settings icon

Select sounds, and then select volumes

You will notice different volume controls for various functions such as music, video, games and other media, ringtones and notifications, and alarms.

Adjust the volume using the sliders.

These settings give the ability to adjust the volumes using the buttons on your phone, but you cannot go past the maximum that you set previously.

These steps depend on the make, model, and version of your Android Operating System.

4.
Apps for increasing Volume

Tech has come an incredibly long way in trying to make our lives better.

Volume increasing applications are one of them, so you can now improve headphone sound quality without spending too much time on the task.

Before you download the app, examine the maximum volume limit on your device first.

Volume increasing applications are efficient and effective in improving the sound quality of your device. This will help you increase the volume to your preferred limits.

The best Android apps that let you increase sound of earphones are Volume Control +,Volume Booster Pro, and Ultimate Volume Booster.

5. Headphones Amplifiers

However, these devices do not supply sufficient power to the built-in amps due to their small size, which reduces the power output, and as a result, your earbuds are underpowered.

A standalone amplifier has enough space and enough power for an earbud. The added power results in the production of higher volumes and quality sounds.

We only recommend headphone amps when there is too little power. Over-ear earphones are the ones that use them most of the time. The in-ear one users can assume that their device is sending enough power.

How to Choose the Right Rarbuds

Getting the most out of earbuds begins with purchasing the right pair. By the right pair we don’t mean the most expensive ones. You can get good earbuds within your price range.

Before settling on a pair, make sure you examine a number of them to identify which one works better with your device. Try old music with the new options to test the quality. It is also imperative to know whether you want open or closed types.

Closed in-ear headphones isolate you from outside sounds, but also results in sound distortion. On the other hand, open ones let sound and air flow through. It produces quality sound, but it doesn’t isolate you from outside noises.

About Ear Candi

Ear candi is a custom molding system, which takes the shape of a bud or ear. If you have in-ear earphones, you might be experiencing noise isolation problems.

External noise interferes with the audio output forcing you to raise the volume to uncomfortable levels, which can be harmful to your eardrums.

The conventional solution to this particular problem was to purchase expensive active noise canceling in-ear headphones. However, ear candi is the alternative solution for this problem.

These silicon inserts will be a custom fit to your ears, providing the best sound isolation while keeping the drums still sound rich and full. They also help in keeping your buds in place during workouts.

Final Words

There are no easy technical fixes for these kinds of devices. We hope that the methods discussed in this article will help you increase the volume of and improve their sound quality of the types of earphones you choose with ease.

Sticking to recommended volume limits in your device and investing in earbuds that are designed to fit into your ear instead of hanging on the outer ear goes a long way in protecting you from ear damage.

This is because these types of earbuds require lower volume since it doesn’t compete with external noise.

Nobody would share ear cleaners with anyone so avoid sharing earbuds too especially those that go into your ears.
